I honestly did not know that bit about Saulsbury showed his dong on his cell phone to a woman. Geesh, how many idiots are out there? I will never understand how so many guys get in trouble for sending pictures of their dongs to women. How in the world can you think that is appropriate or that they will even like it? I wouldn't even send that to my wife, and she LOVES my dong. Seriously, how this even happens once let alone multiple times blows my mind.

AJ is even more of a dick in my mind after reading the account of posting that video of a girl that might be getting raped. What an ass:

Daulerio now says he wishes he hadn't run the video. "It wasn't funny," he says. "It was possibly rape. I was trying to kind of put it in that same category [as the Dallas video]. I didn't really look at the thing close enough to realize there's maybe something a little more sinister going on here and a little more disturbing.

Agreed, but "thinking before speaking or acting" is not really the MO of Daulerio, or more importantly, his boss, Nick Denton. There was a great profile of Denton in the New Yorker a couple of months ago in which he pretty much said that he doesn't care if his blogs (he's the head of Gawker media) get a story right, as long as they get it out first. And his authors get paid based upon the number of page views their posts get, so the more salacious, the better. It's a business model that gleefully shirks responsibility and accountability.

That doesn't just describe Deadspin, it seems to describe every other media outlet these days as well. It's actually refreshing to hear somebody at least admit that their goal is to piss people off -- I won't hold my breath waiting for the people at any newspaper, sports talk radio station, or ESPN to do the same.
